(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, Fidelity Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any claim made by a member unless (1) the claim would, except for the dollar amount thereof, be a valid claim under the bond as prescribed by Section 17203.1 and (2) the claim is made within the time prescribed by Section 17205. The protection to members provided by Fidelity Corporation and by the fidelity bond or insurance policy, if any, shall therefore be deemed to be coextensive except as to the dollar amounts as set forth in Section 17314. All defenses available to the insurer under the fidelity bond or insurance policy, if any, on any claim shall also be a defense to Fidelity Corporation, as either an indemnitor or surety, on any claim brought against the corporation.
(b) No person other than a member, or the member’s successor in interest, who shall be the commissioner, a conservator, receiver, or trustee as designated by a court of competent jurisdiction, is entitled to assert a claim against Fidelity Corporation for losses covered under this article.
(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 376, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2007.)
